Unless directed otherwise by your instructor, we recommend following The McGill Guide, with in-text citations following the standard APA or MLA format replacing the footnotes required by The McGill Guide.
e.g. A case law citation on your References/Works Cited page might look something like this:
R. v. Jobidon (1987) 36 C.C.C. (3d) 340
And your in-text citation at the end of your sentence would look like this:
APA: (R. v. Jobidon, 1987) MLA: (R. v. Jobidon 6)
Always follow your instructor's guidelines first. You'll find a variety of ways to cite legal resources online, so it's best to know what your teacher is looking for before you start.
